    Water Drips Out When You Open Door

    Overall makes great "sonic" ice! That being said, every time you open the door to get ice out of it, a moderate amount of water drips out onto the tray in the front. Which is why I guess they included it, but I would expect that the design itself would be a little better for this not to occur literally every single time.

    Makes soft chewable ice fast and quite and turns off when the machine is full. Love it great for drinks and just ice by itself.

    Do not purchase unless you want problems

    Honest review from someone who was very hopeful. Our refrigerator broke and this was going to be a quick interim solution to have ice. Oh not so easy. We followed every instruction 100% because we really needed ice until we can decide on our fridge. But to my surprise, this $500 machine does not do anything that is promised. You fill up the water tank and it literally dumped water into the ice tank, melting all of your ice and then makes more ice but it can’t make enough ice to fill up the ice tank I really do not recommend this to anybody unless you want to deal with problems. You can see in the picture that the water falls and melts the ice. Buyer beware.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
